The next 5 presidents will not have the power to reverse. In the next 6months it will take $174(more) to feed a family of 4.

Just how our EX-president kept crying about the "coffers were bare" and "the last administration left us nothing" and "there were no stockpiles" and "we had to start from scratch". When in reality, what had happened was, he, himself had disbanded the NSC's directorate for global health and security and bio-defense back in 2018. So, he actually had 2 years to fill the "coffers" and make sure the cupboards were not, in fact, bare. But instead told reporters "that was a nasty question" when asked about his decision to disband the team that had a playbook. That playbook and that team had the coordination worked out among all of the different departments that would be involved in keeping this country and those 700,000 now dead, safe instead. In all of his courageous leadership and the fact that he can never admit he made a huge, very critical mistake, he just played the blame game. It's always someone else's fault when he fucks up. You are exactly right. Presidents shouldn't blame a previous administration for the disastrous decisions they make. They should take full responsibility for their errors. Especially not keep using that same old line of "we did great" & "we had the best response", when in reality he allowed 1 in every 500 Americans die. Countless others will suffer from what appears to be lifelong, debilitating conditions and residual effects from a virus that could have been kept at bay much, much better. If he hadn't been so worried about messing up his hair and make-up, maybe masks wouldn't have become such a political statement. But his tiny ego couldn't handle wearing a simple mask. Our leaders should be just that and lead by example and not play the blame game.

Just remember he inherited all this mess from Bush! The collapsed economy, the federal bank injecting fund to Wallstreet, the entire NSA from Bush's administration, oh and don't forget he tried to leave Afghanistan but the Bush administration war mongers wanted to increase the effort 🙄. BUT STILL! You blaim the democrats for a Republican lie and violation to the American people! Done not once, not twice, not even 3 times ! But every single Republican President has done these same things 🙄🤔 The biggest difference is Bush devised it and authorized it! Lied directly to the people while defending it! Obama inherited it going on behind his back and was being poorly advised! Capable? Yes . But STOP GIVING THE REAL CRIMINALS A FREE RIDE ! Stop believing all there BS lies ! Both Clinton and Obama, inherited financial disasters! And the Republicans just keep saying see we are doing great ,but we aren't it's all getting much worse each time the top gain huge ground and the people loose more and get stupider. It's really sad . 😥 I don't think the usa can recover from the crisis the Republicans have left us .

@@deadeyetopher8621 it's true Obama inherited the illegal surveillance system from Bush, along with the war. And that alleviates the FACT that he allowed it to continue and expanded it? It's not as bad that he lied about it just as Bush did? The lesser evil of two evils is still evil, that is if one assumes he is the lesser. Disregarding what democrats say, and only looking at the voting record and the lobbyist paychecks they receive, the Republican and Democratic parties are both filled with the ruling class and or look after their interests. I don't see the point in being loyal to any political party that so clearly has been corrupted, this being applied to both major parties.

Beautiful work

You've given me great insight into the inner departments of the US government

The take away here is, even though they talked about these intrusions in the past tense, more of our privacy is being surveilled than ever in 2022. Another conclusion one can arrive at, is that none of the people, in either the gov or the private sector, that are guilty of felony crimes, will ever be brought to justice, at least in this lifetime. We didn't hear about a single one, who faced the consequences of their admitted crimes, and ironically, the only person facing persecution, is the hero in the story, Edward Snowden...

Watching this again, now years later, it's so disappointing that there was no outrage in mass via the public towards these illegal surveillance programs. Sure, there was great media coverage and plenty of visibility to it but where the people in the streets? Where was the outrage from the average person? Was it because they didn't fully understand the implications? Or are they just too ambivalent to care? Who knows. But Snowden is a hero and he should be welcomed back to America with open arms. Meanwhile, nothing has changed and I can only imagine how much more sophisticated these programs are now in 2022.

This is what happens in the power of capitalism. Marketing and LP will always find a way to feed the politicians, who feed the media, who feed the people that this is all in the spirit of the American dream and if you take these big corporations rights away you take away the mom and pop stores too...In the end we're just creating monopolies with mass amounts of power who really are running the world. People laugh and call folks like me who see this conspiracy theorists but if you dig deep these monopolies have their hands in so many different things with so many different companies and people of an elite status, that you...will NEVER be able to crush them. Have you ever asked yourself why people like high ranking military officers are on the board for "instant blood test" or the wives of heads of congress (who are themselves millionaires, involved in politics and private businesses) on the board of the most elite grocery chain that crushes and buys out all the other guys? It's not for our protection, it's for theirs. Even if it was for ours...we have given these people complete and utter power over us in the name of convenience and commerce.
